Difficult Military Mauser Lugers to Find
Greetings! I just completed a little study to find the most difficult Military Mauser Lugers, besides the K-Date. This is based on my data file obtained through many years and sources. Since there are some cross-over serial numbers, I had to determine some of the end points statistically. That's why the numbers seem exact, when actually they are estimates. That doesn't detract from the conclusion.
Enjoy!! * No P.08 on Frame ** Rust Blue with Mauser Hump |

Tom, thanks. Great for you. I just added one of these little jewels to my stash. It's the last Military Mauser Luger I need to get all the variations. Now looking for a few upgrades.

Thanks Frank,
I think if Forum members would post photos of these hard to find variations they would go well with your data!! Tom |

Frank... Good stuff. An example of #8 on the list. BTW, the matching mag was the first one that I found on Don's Orphan Mag List. There were more to follow but this one made me a believer......
